The model with the 'Silver Shower' too.  I've got its Canadian cousin!  

Interesting!  It's definitely an early one - the half-arm wash arm at the rear of the tub to ensure the upper rack contents got at least some washing is not present in this dishwasher.  I've got a 1965 version, a Kenmore 600 that has the half-arm, so I'd be very curious as to what year the one...

What Bob said.  I've got an ancient Bélanger microwave oven (made by Tappan for the Canadian appliance company) that also has the browner unit.      That glass tray is missing from mine, though, dammit.... 

I am reluctant to offer advice anymore, but if the outlet is checking out OK, showing 120 and 240 volts with a multimeter, I'd say look for a broken connection at the terminal block, timer, or at the heating element itself.  Connections can go bad over time....   If they look good, then test the...

A 1950 model. Also appears to be missing the upper rack...

Christopher, I learned a great deal from restorations of my 57 GE set - I hope I can help. I saw that the thermal fuse from your dryer was missing - I have the original and a substitute part number back in Canada but I will post it for you as soon as I can. In Latvia to finally get my late...

I have the service manuals for the washer and dryer. I am currently traveling in Latvia however and won't be able to scan or send anything until I return to Canada on September 15th.

What Hans said in Reply #17 That's my method also.  And I ain't about to change it... LOL 

But the visit came to an end and they had to go back...    After one last load of laundry in the 57 GE Filter-Flo, of course!     It was great visit and I look forward to heading back to Ohio again sometime soon.  

We also took a road trip to visit with PhilR to see his awesome mid-century house and collection.     We even got to take a spin in Phil's beloved 65 Buick Wildcat! 

We did a tour of the thrift stores in Coaticook and Magog, as is Wash-In tradition.  

The 54 James SweepFlow dishwasher made for a fun way to 'do the dishes'.  This is a great dinner party dishwasher, 'cause you can actually see inside it! 

There was plenty of cooking done with vintage appliances from my hoard...er, collection.  

The GE Combo in the WonderKitchen is giving me attitude (again), so the visitors had to settle for a demo of the 58 Philco-Bendix Duomatic.  

The 66 Inglis Sterling was on its best behaviour, also.  

Fortunately my Canadian 57 GE Filter-Flo behaved!  So did the matching dryer.  

The 55 Frigidaire Pulsamatic had also been requested.    I seem to be cursed by Frigidaires this year because the damned thing filled, but the timer would not advance...  There has to be at least ONE machine that misbehaves in front of guests....  This also irks me because the timer was...

The 56 Easy Spiralator (not my washer - this is Jon Charles' that I am holding hostage...LOL) was also on the list.  

They were eager to get to test-drive some of my vintage washers in the Ogden Laundry!   Chris had specifically asked about the unusual 1958 Dominion, so I hooked it up for him.     This is a bit of a twitchy washer, but it behaved for my 'company'.... LOL   

From last Thursday, August 25th until Tuesday August 29th, I was thrilled to play host to a small group of vintage collectors from Ohio and Michigan.      We've known each other online for some time and I had referred to a "collector friend in Ohio" who had been my US warehouse for dishwashers...
